What We’ve Built: AI-Powered Statement Builder for Protection Orders
Context-Aware Interviewing:
Trauma-Informed Questioning:
– Instead of: “Describe all incidents of violence”– AI asks: “Can you tell me about the most recent incident that made you feel unsafe? Take your time, and include whatever details feel important to share.”– Instead of: “What threats were made?”– AI asks: “Did they say anything specific that scared you? You can share their exact words if you remember them, or just the general idea of what they said.”– Instead of: “List all previous incidents”– AI asks: “Has something like this happened before? Can you tell me about another time you felt unsafe?”
Statement Structure and Guided Flow:
- Recent Incident (Opening Paragraph): AI first asks about the most recent incident, gathering detailed descriptions including specific actions, threats, exact words used, date/timeframe, and impact on the victim
- Previous Incidents (Middle Paragraphs): AI then asks about earlier events, collecting brief but detailed accounts with dates and specific examples
- Requested Protections (Final Section): Finally, AI guides users to articulate what specific protections they are seeking
Preserving Authentic Voice:
Our Statement Guide Principles:
- Emphasize clarity and specific details: Include exact quotes of threats, specific actions taken, and precise dates when possible
- Focus on impact: Help users articulate how each incident made them feel and affected their safety
- Maintain completeness: Ensure all required legal elements are addressed while respecting the user’s comfort level
- Use trauma-informed language: Avoid victim-blaming language and provide users control over their narrative
